uPVC vs Timber Fascias: Is It Time to Replace Your Roofline?

By James Carter4 min read

Fascias carry your gutters and seal the edge of your roof. When the timber starts to rot, water and pests are never far behind.

Signs your roofline needs attention

Look up at the boards that run along the bottom edge of your roof.

  • Flaking paint or soft, spongy timber
  • Gutters pulling away from the boards
  • Birds or wasps nesting in the eaves
  • Dark staining below the roof edge
If the fascia is soft enough to push a screwdriver into, it is time to replace it.

Why most homeowners choose uPVC

Modern uPVC fascias and soffits never need painting, will not rot, and come in white, black, anthracite and woodgrain finishes that suit period homes as well as modern ones.
